Dominions 3 News!

$54 (-7.50) isn't a bad value, assuming its on par with dom2.

$54 is imho hard to explain as price for Dominions 3.
As Dominionsfan said even Oblivion costs only 45$ at Amazon.com and Oblivion was really hyped.
And you don't have to pay shipping with Amazon.com, i guess i have to pay another 5$ or so shipping fees.

Since i am such a huge fan of Dominions 2 i will buy Dominions 3 nontheless but i doubt that this huge price will give Dominions 3 many new fans. Probably only the die-hard fans like me will buy it. I wouldn't be surprised if the community even decreases instead of increasing, as it should be.

As long as it doesn't cost insane amounts of money to ship to Israel (like most US delivers cost :\), I'll probably buy it.
Otherwise I'll just have to wait for either prices to drop or some of the independant Israeli importers to get it. Or I'll just convince my friends to buy it, and play at their house and just wait for a year and buy their copy from them =P.
How much does shipping to Israel cost anyway?

I have ordered it to be shipped to Israel and the shipping cost is $8.45.

For me the price is ok because of the printed manual and replay value. Also I think it will be nice if shrapnel will at some time make a collectors edition of dominions with all the dominions titles, fan made stuff and other goodies.

I just took a look at our shipping options to Israel. We offer two; the least expensive is USPS Global Priority Mail for $5.00.

I dnt think I will bother comparing Dom3 price to games that MIGHT last a month at most on my machine (like Oblivon). Also Im not sure that asking any company to compare their prises to the types of places that have their own factory cranking something out in bulk ever works anyway. I see it tried alot, I just dont think Ive ever seen it work.

Anyway, aside from the established fanbase, noone else will buy a game with "cheap" graphics for that much money. And all those fans (including me) will preorder, so in the end noone is going to pay the whole price.

I understand what you say Gandalf, but this is not true generally. Here is our example oblivion. Even if you completed the main storyline and the hundreds of side quests, there is still a huge potential in the game. You can make mods, even own "campaign" if you are good enough, or if you want to do that. I remeber that Morrowind was on my comp for 1+ year, and I played it all week. Other examples? There are countless of games, what the people are playing for years even, and I doubt that any of those went above 50$ or euro.

Anyways, I already preordered my copy of the game of course, I would even buy doms 3 for 100 euro. :-) .. my post regarding doms 3 price was not about myself, but it might scare away many people.

Ohh, cool, thanks for the information. Its a decent price.
If I preorder, the 7.5$ will cover the 5$ for shipment =P
I remember once trying to order a game (can't remember which :\) from the USA and the cheapest shipping option was ~30$ for a game that costs ~30$, so you can see why this is can be an issue.
